I can add a custom xkb keyboard layout in
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols
and acrivate it using setxkbmap.
The downside of storing data in this system folder is that it gets lost when xkb-data is reinstalled or updated.
Is there a folder in the home directory where I can permanently store custom keymaps for xkb?

Why not just backup the layout.xkb-datais normally only updated when you upgrade to a new Ubuntu release.

creatign a layout folder in my user dir and (r)syncing to the /usr dir is my current approach. am just not comfortable with it. I will also not place my binaries for example in /usr/bin. Why mess with the folder structure when there are /usr/local/ and ~/.local for a reason.

It's is a limitation of XKB which can't be easily worked around. There is a fresh Ubuntu bug report which highlights the issue, but a possible fix should reasonably be done upstream. Can't tell if/when it will happen.
It's worth mentioning that for this very reason we usually don't update xkb-data in stable releases.
